The easiest way to understand the word SADHANA is through an English synonym called Practice.
Sadhana is the systematic, sequential means of disciplining yourself. But why & for what?
Each and every action we undertake in the form of work or responsibilities must fall into the above. Dharma, Artha, Kama & Moksha.
Our actions need to purify us.
Our desires should lead us to wisdom.
Our devotion should lead us to feel free.
But these days everything is the opposite.
Our actions drain & pollute our mind.
Fulfilling one desire leads to a whirlpool of unending desires.
We all fall mentally, physically, morally & emotionally.
It’s our actions & activities that pull us out of misery.
We need to discipline ourselves so that can perform
Rightful duties (Dharma)
Have a rightful purpose (Artha)
Have rightful inclinations (Kama)
Ultimately, feel free (Moksha)
When we fall, if we refrain from not doing the work, We will sink further. It’s our actions, especially the work we do that uplifts, upholds & supports us.
So, If you’re thinking of quitting it’s a very good idea.
You need a change, Just make sure you have something else to focus on.
We need to aim for reaching perfection & deepening the understanding of what/who we are & most importantly why we are born.
This is the only way to gain clarity. Once clarity dawns in this life, you start working & pursuing that which makes you feel alive, then freedom becomes your slave.
Lack of understanding of oneself is what leads to fear, self hate & attachment to transient things.
And one fine day when you lose it, you will be pushed to sorrow.
This is where yoga comes, Sadhana (practice) minimizes or eradicates these disturbances & destructive thoughts and lets you heal your self-inflicted suffering.
